THE BAND.
The R. O. T. C. of the University gained a valuable addition when the University Band voted to enlist in the corps. Although the older members of the band will not gain anything by the transfer, in the long run the band, the University and the R. O. T. C. will be ahead.
In practically all colleges and Universities, the band is under the direction of the military and time has shown that it is the best plan. By joining the R, O, T, C, the band has not lost any of the prestige that it has held in former years—it is still the K, U, Band. It will still play at the University gatherings and athletic games.
In a few years the band men will be having money and at their graduation will be eligible for a com mission in the United States Army. They will receive a full set of new instruments provided by the government and at the beginning of next year will have new uniforms.
K. U. has always had a good band and will continue to have one in the future and the fact that it is under the military will be a big factor in the maintenance of its high standard.
Some students would make better time along the road to Knowledge if they didn't have so many blow-outs.
THE CONCERT COURSE
There is not a student in this University, who, if he desires to get in touch with the higher thirgs in life, should not attend one, or more, or all of the concerts of the University Concert Course.
These concerts, which are to come,
are outward manifestations of the fine things. Both as to the composer of the music and the artist who gives expression to it, they represent the best type of genius; and genius means hard work—years and years of hard work, and supreme self-sacrifice.
and it is the culmination of all of its hard work and sacrifice, the definitive result of it, that this series of conversations will bring to our very door.
Could any greater privilege be curse? For it is a privilege. Many are the people in the smaller towns crowded throughout the United States who never have had, and who never will have, the opportunity to now confront us.
It is a golden one, indeed, and few of us can afford to pass it up.

lows drop around to pat you on the

THE KANSAS SITUATION.
According to the 1920 census report, Kansas has a population of 1,769,185, an increase of 78,236 or 4.6 per cent. In 1910, Kansas ranked twenty-second in population among the states, while the last census will place her at least in twenty-fourth place, and possibly twenty fifth, Oklahoma and Louisiana are the two states which have passed Kansas in the last ten years, while Arkansas, which was twenty-fifth, will give the Sunflower state a close race.
In comparison with other states, Kansas has made a very small increase in population during the last decade. Figures announced at the same time as those on Kansas show that Arizona increased 63.1 per cent, and North Carolina 15.9 per cent.
This fact leaves Kansas facing a difficult problem which must be solved, Kansas is a farming territory, and whatever increase she maintains must be through the farms. Indications go to show that it has been on this score that the state has failed to increase in the proportion it should have. It follows, that the tendency of farm labor has been to the centers of population, rather than from the cities and towns to the farms.
The cause of this tendency is not easily eliminated. Kansas has made progress during this period. Farming communities have kept pace with such communities in other states. The state has had enormous and successful crop productions, yet the population has continued to drift toward the cities. The state has not attracted the agricultural house builder, the impetus of farm interest has become lax. This condition seems to explain partly at least, the present tendency.
The solution of the problem lies in the solution of another, the farm tendency situation. Less farmers are owning their farms every year. More are becoming renters, and with the uncertainty of markets and industrial conditions, the renter is taking a big-

Kansas has a proposition that demands attention if she would hold her during the coming decade.

A FOOL ONLY LOOKS
A fool was staging at the corner on Seventh and Massachusetts street Saturday night demonstrating a fruitful idea. While twenty-two hundred lively students were busily engaged in making the nightshirt parade a success and an honor to Kansas, the fool, a student had two nice looking, laughing women clinging to his arms, and he was standing there gaping upward and pointing. He was probably unaware of an unwritten law existing among loyal students of the University that dates are not be mitted on such an occasion.
He had said to the girls: "I'll show you what a bit of silly things these Lawrence rubes really are. I'll stand here among those who think they are worldly wise, and I'll look at nothing. A large crowd will gather in three seconds."
He had seen nothing as he peered upward, of course. But some of the people he had gathered continued to look, and they saw high in the heavens the gorgeous beauty of a gleaning star and a bright, full moon. The fool drew credit in their minds for having discovered this splendid sight, although he had seen nothing but his own witness joke.
It is an old idea it has been done before. The curiosity of the Lawrence people, who had gathered to see one of the most interesting events of the year, is providential. Sure enough, palestinians stepped around the fool and his dates, and followed his gaze.
A fool is a fool. He has no vision.
He grazes into the heavens in jost,
his eyes unseeing because his mind is
absorbed in foolishness. Beyond his
narrow vision gleams many a star of
hope and promise. He laughs at the
men who follow his glaze, but, lo, they
SEE where he is unseeing.

Women as a rule are quick to note comparisons and when they learn that Kansas is the only state in the U. ion that does not either build roads or aid in their construction they will be naxious to be "in style" and remove the constitutional provision against road building.
On Other Hills
Yale University Begins 220th Year.
Yale University begin its two-hundred and twentieth year recently with few effects of the war period visible. Many departments have been reorganized to estimate the freshman class at 800 students and the total enrolenat/at 5,000.
More interest is being shown in Italian this year than ever before in the history of the department of Romance languages. The enrollment in Italian has increased 50 per cent over last year, according to Ralph C. Williams, an assistant professor of this class. His interest is believed by Mr. Williams 'be due to the fact that Italian is coming to the front as a scientific language and also to the movement on foot for a closer relationship between Italy and our country. Its use in social-settlement work may be useful for teaching given as additional reasons for the growing popularity of the language. —Evening Missouri.
Tylosaurus is the name of the reptile whose skull will soon be added to the collection of extinct animals in the geology museum at Missouri University. This skull was found in the rock formation below it, mounted in Rochester, N. Y.
Two New England colleges are finding that their great problem this fall is to provide rooming accommodations for all the students who seek admission. At both Brown and the University of Maine the prospect is for unprecedented enrollment; at both, too, classroom and laboratory facilities are fairly ample, but there is a lack of dormitories.
All but three counties of Ohio have been organized in preparation for the Ohio Stadium campaign which opens October 18. This was the news that greeted prominent alumni from all over Ohio recently to make reports as to the progress of the project—Ohio State Lantern.
Cornell University and the University of Illinois have inferred a plan for giving courses in hotel operation and management. The idea is to erect and conduct a hotel in connection with the schools, where students may do practical work at all phases of hotel conducting.
Last year labs secured for students brought the Y. M. C. A. brought in more than $600 000 at the University most of the work was sart time.
